Belo Skincare AcnePro Pimple Gel – if your sleepless nights studying for an exam or preparing for a project led you to sporting a raging acne or pimple outbreak, it’s high time to add some spot treatment to your regimen. Although spot treatments can also be used during the day, it is more recommended to be included in an evening regimen since this leaves your skin in complete restorative focus, while also being kept unexposed to environmental stressors like pollution and sweat.

Among many pimple fighting gels available in the market, Beo Skincare AcnePro Pimple Gel reigns high with its unique Purified Bee Venom active ingredient, which is clinically tested to moderate acne breakouts. This pimple fighting gel is also oil-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and hypoallergenic; thus making it a sensitive skinned maiden’s best friend.

4. Kojie San Kontur Celullite Control Cream – aside from the face, there are other parts of your body that deserve some attention when trying to get into that beauty sleep vibe. Top areas to give some tender loving care to are your thighs, arms, and even abdomen—top problem areas in the fight against cellulites. Cellulite refers to the visible chicken skin texture under your skin, and is a common problem for women, both young and old. Although it is a bit tricky to fight off, you can call in the help of cellulite control creams at night so you get to tone your body while you cap the night off with a good night’s sleep

5. Tai Chi Foot Patches – get super rested sleep while you flush out toxins from your body with the help of foot patches! Tai Chi Foot Patches come in regular, eucalyptus, lavender, and even a warming variant to help induce rejuvenating sleep while absorbing toxins from the soles of your foot. Operating under the umbrella of reflexology, Tai Chi Foot Patches target different parts and organs in the body based on the nerve endings found on your feet. Simply patch on a pair before your shut eye, drink tons of water to remain rehydrated all night long, and wake up to a detoxified morning like no other.

Using Tai Chi Foot Patches also aids relieving sore muscles and joints when applied on certain areas of the body. Also a great solution for busy bees, Tai Chi Foot Patches help make a four hour sleep feel like a full eight!
